00:00So how difficult was it to reach this level?
00:04It was difficult at every step.
00:07From childhood, when I went to school,
00:13I got my education from Kullu National Association for the Blind School.
00:18There, the struggle was less because it was a special school.
00:22It was for us, so the challenges were less.
00:26But gradually, after primary education,
00:31we went to high school.
00:34In secondary education, the challenges increased.
00:38How to give exams, how to write, how to study.
00:42Because, sorry.
00:43Braille, like we study with Braille.
00:47Then how to make so many notes in Braille.
00:51Then after Braille, we started reading audio books.
00:56By recording the books.
00:59Or e-books.
01:01First we used to study with Braille.
01:05Then listening and reading.
01:07It was a little difficult to put yourself in it.
01:11Because in the beginning, I used to sleep while listening.
01:14Then slowly, I put myself in it.
01:18Coming to school, going to school.
01:21There were a lot of challenges.
01:23Regarding studies.
01:25Apart from this, there were other things that we could not tell.
01:29Or we are not able to remember.
01:32So, there were such challenges.
01:35You mentioned childhood.
01:37Do you have any childhood memories with your siblings,
01:40which you still remember?
01:43Actually, when I was 7 years old, I went to school, Kullu.
01:49So, coming home was only during the holidays.
01:53So, most of the memories are of my school.
01:56A little mischief, a little study.
01:59Enjoy, playing music, all this.
02:03When we are young, we think that I will become a teacher when I grow up.
02:08Someone thinks that I will become a doctor when I grow up.
02:10So, when you were young, what did you think?
02:12What will I become when I grow up?
02:14When I was young, I used to see my teachers.
02:17Yes, I will also become a teacher.
02:19But then when I started music.
02:21Because I had a hobby of singing.
02:24I used to sing from a very young age.
02:26Then someone, my teacher, told me that you can do well in music.
02:31Learn music.
02:33So, at that time, it seemed that I would become a teacher.
02:36But when I started music, I started going to the academy side by side.
02:41So, it seemed that I would become a music teacher.
02:44But music, because what we learn is classical music, classical music.
02:50That also seemed boring to me.
02:52Because we are interested in songs, filming songs, Bollywood songs, all this.
02:57In this, we felt that this is what is taught.
03:00So, that also seemed boring to me.
03:03No, this is not right.
03:05Gradually, when I continued, then I started enjoying it.
03:10Then I felt that I would become a music professor.
03:14Who was your favorite teacher?
03:17Favorite teacher, I don't have one.
03:20Because there are many people who have supported me a lot.
03:25And I connected with them from my heart.
03:27And they praised me a lot, supported me a lot, guided me all the time.
03:33So, in the beginning, there were our teachers, Renu ma'am, Parvez sir.
03:38After that, Preeti ma'am, she was very sweet.
03:41I liked Preeti ma'am very much.
03:43And then there is Ajay Srivastav sir.
03:48So, in this way, I kept getting attached to everyone.
03:51And everyone guided me very well, supported me a lot.
03:55Because in my whole life, not just one person,
03:59At every step, whether it is music, whether it is study, or something else.
04:03So, I got guidance from everyone, which is why I am here today.
04:08So, when you became an assistant professor, did you meet Renu ma'am and Preeti ma'am?
04:13I didn't meet them, but I did talk to everyone on the phone.
04:16I also talked to my school teachers, music teachers.
04:20When I was learning music in Kullu, I also talked to that teacher, Pandit Vidya Sagar Sharma ji.
04:28I got in touch with everyone.
04:31And it happens in between.
04:33It's not like the contact is broken.
04:35I try to stay in touch, keep in touch.
04:40I keep talking to them.
04:42Your teachers must feel very proud to see you at this level today.
04:46Yes, my school was an integrated school.
04:50From 6th to 10th, where I studied in Kullu.
04:53There was also a music teacher there, Renuka ma'am.
04:56When she found out that I was selected as an assistant professor, she called me herself.
05:02She said she was very happy.
05:04And even after that, when I studied in Portmore School, 11th, 12th,
05:10there was also a music teacher, Alka ma'am.
05:12She also called me.
05:14I mean, maximum teachers themselves called me.
05:17And I do have contact with some teachers.
05:20But those who don't, they also called me.
05:24If we talk about singing, Muskaan,
05:26since when did you have a passion for singing?
05:28Since childhood.
05:30Since what age?
05:32You can say that...
05:36As far as I remember, I used to sing.
05:39I used to listen to songs on TV in the village.
05:42I used to play songs on TV and listen to them and remember them.
05:46That was also there.
05:48After that, when I went to school,
05:50the teachers used to listen to songs and I used to sing them.
05:54They told me that I sing well and that I can sing well.
05:58I think I was only 7 years old when I was admitted to school.
06:03After that, we had a singing competition in Kullu.
06:07There were 12 schools there.
06:11We took second position in that.
06:14We had a folk song solo.
06:16She was my friend.
06:18When we were in second position,
06:20we got more motivation.
06:22Will you sing a folk song for us?
06:25Folk song...
06:32There is one.
06:34Any song that you sang in the competition?
06:37At that time, I sang a song by Rodu.
06:41It's a very famous song called Ronjia Mama.
06:44I will sing a few lines from it.
07:15That's it.
07:17When did you join the academy for singing?
07:21As far as I remember,
07:25I joined the academy in 2009.
07:29Not in 2009.
07:33It was in 2005 or 2006.
07:35I think I was in 3rd or 4th standard.
07:39That's when I joined the academy.
07:41Now, you are an assistant professor.
07:43When did you decide to clear NETCET and do a PhD?
07:47How did you prepare for it?
07:49How many difficulties did you face?
07:51As I told you, my primary teacher was Mr. Parvez.
07:54I was talking to him once.
07:56I had just started my graduation from RKMV.
08:01When I talked to him,
08:03he asked me what subject I had taken.
08:07I told him that I had taken music.
08:09He told me that if I wanted to become a music professor,
08:13I would have to qualify for NETCET.
08:16He told me to submit my NETCET exam when I joined the academy.
08:20I listened to him at that time.
08:22But I decided to see how it goes.
08:28When I went to the university and took admission,
08:32I met a senior in our school.
08:35His name was B.R. Kaushal.
08:37He told me to submit my NETCET exam in the first semester.
08:43At least, I would know what it is like.
08:48But I could not submit it at that time.
08:51When I submitted my NETCET exam in the second semester,
08:54I prepared for it at home.
08:57I qualified for the NETCET exam in the first attempt.
09:04I got more motivation.
09:06I submitted my NETCET exam again and again.
09:09It is a good thing that you cleared the NETCET exam in the first attempt.
09:13Let's talk about singing.
09:15What else does Muskaan like other than singing?
09:19Other than singing, I listen to novels.
09:24I listen to them even before going to bed.
09:29Other than that, I listen to songs.
09:32I want to immerse myself in music.
09:38What is Muskaan's favorite dish?
09:42I am not a very choosy person.
09:46I don't like anything.
09:49My favorite dish is Rajma Chawali.
09:54I can eat anything.
09:57I just don't like mushrooms.
10:00I eat everything else.
10:02My favorite is Rajma Chawali.
10:04When you came to Shimla,
10:06did you miss your mother's Rajma Chawali?
10:11I have been living abroad since childhood.
10:14Gradually, I got used to it.
10:17When I was young, I used to go to the hostel.
10:21In the beginning, I used to miss my mother.
10:25Gradually, I got used to it.
10:29Wherever I go,
10:33whoever I stay with for a long time,
10:36I get to hear that she doesn't complain.
10:41She adjusts to everything.
10:44Muskaan, has it ever happened to you
10:48that you want to leave everything and go home?
10:55Yes, it happened to me when I was in school.
11:00It always happened to me.
11:04Whenever I had to go to school,
11:08I used to cry a lot.
11:11I didn't want to go to school.
11:14It happened once.
11:16I had to go to Kullu.
11:19I used to cry a lot at night.
11:22I used to cry a lot.
11:24I didn't want to go to school.
11:27I don't know why they sent me away.
11:30How much support did your parents give you?
11:33They supported me a lot.
11:35If they didn't support me,
11:37it would have been difficult.
11:39Whenever I used to say that I want to sing,
11:42I want to participate in this competition,
11:45I want to learn music,
11:48they used to say that I can do whatever I want.
11:52I just don't want to compromise with my studies.
11:56I can learn music.
11:58I can go wherever I want.
12:00They took me everywhere.
12:02My parents took me everywhere.
12:04They supported me a lot.
12:08Muskaan, today is National Youth Day.
12:11What message would you like to give to today's youth?
12:14There are a lot of people who are inspired and motivated by you.
12:18If we look at today's youth,
12:20if there is a small thing,
12:22they move back.
12:24What message would you like to give to today's youth?
12:30We should keep working hard.
12:32Keep working hard.
12:34Keep struggling.
12:36You won't even know when you have succeeded.
12:40You will also think like me.
12:42You won't believe what has happened.
12:46How did it happen? When did it happen?
12:48Keep working hard.
12:50Even if we fail,
12:54we don't have to sit and think about it.
12:58We have to try again and again.
13:00This is my message for everyone.
13:03Troubles will keep coming.
13:05There is nothing like that.
13:07Muskaan, you said in the beginning
13:09that you want to see your dreams even higher.
13:11What other dreams do you have?
13:13You have become an assistant professor.
13:15What other dreams do you have?
13:17I am an assistant professor in college.
13:19My dream is to teach in a university.
13:23I want to teach in a central university.
13:27Let's see.
13:29My PhD is also going on.
13:31It will be done in a month or two.
13:35Muskaan, before you leave,
13:37please sing your favorite song.
13:39A song that you like a lot.
13:43This is a Ghazal.
14:09Bhar na jaaye kahin
14:13Tu bhi dil se
14:17Tu bhi dil se
14:23Utey na jaaye kahin
14:31Niyate shauk
14:35Bhar na jaaye kahin
14:43Muskaan is very beautiful.
14:45As we said in the beginning,
14:47your voice is more beautiful
14:49than your name, Muskaan.
14:53This was Muskaan Negi.
14:55Although Muskaan cannot see,
14:57Muskaan has seen very high dreams.
14:59She has fulfilled those dreams.
15:01Muskaan Negi is not only in Himachal Pradesh,
15:03but also recognized
15:05in India and abroad.
15:07It is very difficult
15:09to keep Muskaan's life
15:11in a video.
15:13But for today's youth,
15:15Muskaan Negi is an inspiration
15:17and motivation.
15:19People who are afraid
15:21to do anything today,
15:23they should learn from Muskaan.
